The title of this poem with reflective connotations caught my attention, and more after reading it. So I wanted to share a little analysis where I show the author my impressions, I hope you like it.
This poem seems to be about the struggle with self-doubt and the desire to be seen as enough. The author reflects on the origins of these thoughts that continue to weigh her down and hinder her progress. The author seems to wage a constant battle with herself, trying to rid herself of these negative feelings and beliefs. Despite knowing that she is enough for herself, she continues to fight against these thoughts and doubts.
The poet speaks of the ideals that were imposed on her as a child and how they continue to haunt her. However, the struggle she faces is not unique to her. Many of us struggle with the same thoughts and doubts, trying to live up to the idealized version of ourselves.
In conclusion, I think this poem is a poignant reflection on the struggle with doubt and the desire to be enough. It speaks to the universal feelings of inadequacy that many of us feel at times and reminds us that we are all imperfect. The author's powerful use of language and imagery makes this poem easy to understand and thought-provoking for readers.
